Please do not book more than 3 months in advance!

In Maur near Zürich we have a small old house with two rooms. This house needs to be rebuilt very soon. This 120 year old house is very basic and please note that it is worn out. On the ground floor it has a small kitchen and upstairs there is a toilet and a shower.

Before booking we would like if you could introduce yourself quickley, so that we can imagine to what kind of persons we are going to rent this little house, Please do only write words, If you write numbers, mailadresses, websites, then Wimdu will not deliver the message, or shorten it.

No smoking inside. Because we never smoke, we prefer guest who do not even know what tobacco is. Some people went for a walk well away from the house whenever they had to smoke, and that was ok for us.

Some people have said that the house is smelling and that is is not healthy to live there. So the time is really coming that the house has to be rebuilt. But other people did not have this impression.

Since all the cats in the neighbouhood do only have psychologic tasks it can happen that we meet a mouse in the kitchen.

The house is heated with electric heaters and if it is very cold outside then it will not be very warm inside. Therefore it may be advisable not to book to early in winter and watch the weather conditions first.

The house is not everybodys style, but many artists and creative people have stayed here and felt quite well.

We think this little hous is ok until max 4 persons. A dog we count like an extra person.

Our guest often do not find the forks and knives. They are in the drawer of the table in the room.

Maur is still a farming village, 35 minutes by tram and bus from the main train station of Zurich (12km east, at a lake opposite of Uster)

Local attractions
- pretty village with 4 restaurants and small castle of XII century
- 5 minute walk through the fields to the lake, or 4 hours around it

- free Internet access at PC in room and open wireless (if it works)
- bicycles have to be repaired first

Do only come if you have made a reservation!

Do not come with an expensive car. It does not suit with the house.

How to get there by public transport:
- a ticket (enter 8124 at machine) costs Fr.8.20 (valid 2 hours),
or an pass for 24 hours (Zones 10, 21,30) costs Fr.16.40
(Train rides to the airport are included in those tickets. If you buy a card with 6 tickets on it, you can buy half fare if you are not over 25 years old. A monthly all zones pass valid after 9am, personal or transferable, costs about SFr.120.-.)

From the Airport Tram 12 to Stettbach and then bus 743 to Maur Dorf. This works until about 8pm. Later Stettbach to Fällanden then bus to Pfaffhausen then bus 747 to Maur Dorf. Or right away but more expensive from the Airport train to Zurich main station, tram 3 to Klusplatz (final stop), bus 747 to Maur Dorf.

House rules

- Use showers reasonably as supply of hot water has to last for all. -
- Do not smoke in the house.
- Pets by arrangement.

You will find clean towels and sheets, but they are not ironed.

- The fee of CHF 30 for fresh linnen you have to pay separately at the end of your stay. If you leave the house very clean then we will not insist on this payment.

Please do not feed the cats and do also not give them any milk! They get enough to eat in their homes and our neighbours are very sad when their cats do not come home anymore.

Really nice little cozy apartment, your own small Spanish house rooftop in central Barcelona, ​​the Ramblas and Plaza Real. Everything was perfectly organized and everything worked perfectly. A wonderful terrace overlooking the old town and toward the mountains.

Very charming location and a nice nest. In addition, we sometimes had really nice neighbors on the roof. It would slow again some things to be renovated. Nevertheless, we have (after almost 3 weeks) really enjoyed the stay. People who need a quiet place to sleep would be a mistake here. The Ramblas and demanding tourists can be heard until dawn. The city is great and very complex. Recommended on each case.

As you can already read the other reviews, both hosts are very nice people make you feel very welcome in the rustic farmhouse. Should I again travel to Zurich and surroundings, I would like to stay there again.

The apartment is exactly as described by Reinhard! Not perfect, everything somehow temporarily "homegrown", partly ancient, but all in working order and clean enough! Upon arrival, a little musty, but once you dispose of the fractured, not edible food the previous tenant and ventilated, that's almost gone! The kitchen is equipped with everything necessary, the apartment features a whole is large, even a small hairdryer with adapter was in the apartment! Very pleasant terrace with a view over the rooftops of Barcelona. Relatively quiet, considering how loud and hectic things get down on the doorstep! So great central location this apartment, very tourist area! The apartment is ideal for those who want to stay very central for relatively little money and do not have big claims. I could only stay two days because I had to stop early because of my sick friend! Reinhard refund me even a small portion of the cost! Very very nice! Thank you again!

The attic is really very simple, but brilliant to the position. Immediately on the subway, on the sea, the Gothic Quarter, what more could you want. In Calle Ferran, you get everything, even bread on Sunday morning. And the view from the roof terrace (to the Sagrada Familia, Tibidabo, Montjuic and sea) is fantastic. Especially when you can sit outside, it is gorgeous. Since we had at Easter a little fresh air, 4 chairs inside would not have been bad. But the plastic chairs outside of it did then and for this one time
